Report: Hamas torturing 250 Eritreans in Egypt
NGO reports Eritreans traveling to Israel to seek asylum are being held captive by terrorist group in northern Sinai. 'Extortion, organ trafficking fund Hamas and al-Qaeda," EveryOne co-President Roberto Malini says

Approximately 250 Eritrean refugees have been held captive and tortured for the past month by Hamas in northern Sinai, human rights organization EveryOne reported.
The Italian-based organization sent an urgent plea to the Egyptian government last Thursday, claiming that the refugees, who were making their way to Israel to seek asylum, were captured by human traffickers.
The issue of illegal refugees infiltrating through the Egyptian border has been dominating the news in Israel in recent months, but it appears that many meet a dreadful fate even before reaching the Jewish state.
The humanitarian aid group reported that the refugees in question encountered Hamas operatives along the route, who promised to smuggle them into Israel for a payment of $2,000. Instead, they were placed in a detention facility on the outskirts of Rafah, an Egyptian town on the Gaza border, demanding their families in Eritrea pay a $10,000 ransom for their release.
'Refugees target of organ trafficking'
It was further noted in the statement that eight of the immigrants were killed, and four have gone missing – allegedly being the subject of human organ harvesting and trafficking. About 100 of them were transferred to a 'concentration camp' at an unknown location, perhaps in the Palestinian territories. The captives are beaten, the women and children raped.
"The prisoners eat poor food and are forced to drink their own urine," the statement reads. "Most of the migrants are contemplating suicide."
According to Roberto Malini, who heads EveryOne, the NGO is able to communicate with the Eritreans, some of whom arrived in Italy a few months ago but were sent back to Libya, where they were held for three months. During their stay in Italy they were given cell phones so that they can keep the humanitarian aid group updated along the journey. The captors let the prisoners use the phones to request money from their families.
The refugees were thus able to relate the poor conditions in which they were being held, and describe their location – a house located near a government building, surrounded by a fruit orchard – and even send photographs of the detention facility.
'Egypt took no action'
According to refugees who survived similar journeys and reached Israel, once the ransom is paid, the traffickers escort the prisoners to certain points along the border. Those who are unable to gather the funds will meet a bitter end.
EveryOne officials claim that despite their repeated efforts to inform the Egyptian authorities of the dire situation, no action has been taken to remedy it, primarily because terrorist groups are behind the atrocities.
"The authorities have still not carried out any inspections of the locations that have been pointed out to them (in the town of Rafah)," the statement reads. "The reason is quite clear… behind the crimes that serve to fund terrorism and to make huge profits for unscrupulous people is a criminal organization so powerful that it is able to challenge and defy governments: the Muslim Brotherhood (the organization Hamas belongs to) and al-Qaeda."
The captives are beaten, the women and children raped.
why is the united nations doing nothing? why is the IAF and IDF doing nothing? i'm too sensitive for this world.

So once again it's Israel's fault. If those damned Zionists had only located the country closer to Africa...
Funny how the same people who are so concerned about Hamas'niks gets blown up don't seem to care when this happens.

What does anyone realistically expect from people who dance in the streets holding human entrails, while building museums celebrating the exploits of suicide bombers--replete with more body-parts!!
They are a culture that is in love with death.

Irony upon irony, karma upon karma:
1) Looks like Hamas is now learning to do what the Israeli Mafia learned to do: organ trafficking
2) Egypt can't be depended upon, neither can the UN. If these poor people knew they would not have a safe haven at the end of their trail, maybe they wouldn't have traveled in that direction. Only immediate deportation of all illegals will convince them that north by northeast is not the way to go - and it may save their lives.
If you lead them on by not preventing their stay in Israel, you endanger their lives in the desert, in Egypt, and in the deportation camps they are put into once they reach Israel.
Again, Shmayra - DIN as CHESED!

Organ trafficking seems to be a Muslim practice - there are reports all over the place that Bosnian Muslims have been killing non Muslims and selling their organs - of course that would be consistent with the rest of their evil behavior.

Of course Sweden Reporters are suddely not to be found.
If Egypt can do somthing about this and dosent, then Israel needs to file a world wide protest against this and rouse / force them in to action.
